Shortcuts

Bring your hands with you.

Kami’s defaults follow IntelliJ on macOS, with presets for IntelliJ and VS Code muscle memory and your own bindings on top. Every change applies the moment you save. Hold ⌘ ⌥ ⇧ or ⌃ to see what each one does.

Presets, and your own.

A preset changes only the bindings below; everything else stays as above. Pick one in Settings, then add your own overrides in the same file. The last binding wins.
